INFORMATION ON TOFO

About Tofo Beach

Located 20km from the historic port city of Inhambane and just over 500km north of Mozambique’s capital, Maputo, Tofo Beach is now known among international divers as one of the best places in the world to have close encounters with manta rays and whale sharks. With miles of pristine, tropical beaches and warm Indian Ocean waters teeming with marine life, Tofo has become a traveller’s Mecca on the Eastern coast of Africa. It’s not hard to see why: as well as its beautiful stretches of beach, Tofo has a friendly laid-back vibe, a small but pumping nightlife, great diving and snorkelling and a few good restaurants too.

Both mantas and whale sharks can be seen in Tofo all year round and our winter months see the arrival of the humpback whales migrating south. A great day’s diving in winter can include sightings of all these majestic creatures in one morning - nowhere else in the world can offer this remarkable combination!!
